DUBAI: Saudi Arabia may be added to the UK’s green list for quarantine-free travel, a leading British consultancy has claimed.

PC Agency said a number of countries were expected to be moved into the green category of rules for entry into England in the wake of an analysis of the latest coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection and vaccination rates.

If the changes are made it would mean that even if travelers were unvaccinated, they would not need to quarantine on their return to the UK, research showed.

It found that 12 destinations, including Germany, Poland, Canada, Austria, Bosnia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Romania could go green.

Saudi Arabia was among five other countries “earmarked” for the green list alongside Bhutan, French Polynesia, North Macedonia, and Norway.

Iceland, Malta, Madeira, and Israel were among destinations that may move from green to amber, while countries such as Greece and Spain could go on the amber list, PC Agency CEO Paul Charles told The Guardian newspaper.

The British government reviews its traffic travel system every three weeks. The next review is expected on Thursday with any changes coming into place the following Monday.
